I'm finishing up a playthrough of ME2 to import into ME3, and I just have a question.

If you didn't complete Arrival does it just assume you completed it anyway, or does the game assume that it was another agent who completed the mission?

Thanks in advance.

The game assumes you did Arrival anyway.

Shepard is put on trial because of what happened in Arrival.

You get one line of different dialogue in the intro. The one we saw in the demo.

Okay then. If the game just assumes you did Arrival anyway, there's no reason to skip it. If I'm going to do the time, I might as well do the crime. At least this way I can do it as Paragon as possible. (I still hate Arrival though)

At least you will have a clear explanation of why you are in trouble in ME3. For blowing up the Batarian relay, instead of "the s**t you've done". Much easier to understand.

Shepard ASSUMES DIRECT CONTROL of a LOKI. The best.

Very easily, personally.

Having a dissenting opinion is really not that hard.

Basically Shepard still did it, just the DLC lets you see it for yourself.

I wonder if those that bought the DLC and finished it will get any kind of extra...

I quite enjoyed Arrival and all of the dlc's. If my paragon shepard is going to be accused he might as well take part in the destruction of the alpha relay and murder 300k batarians and then he can say at his trial yes I did that.

The reason I don't like Arrival is that I was FORCED to blow up the relay and kill the Batarians. The only choice you have is if you try to want the colony the relays about to blow, or if you just contact Joker to get the heck out.
On most of my playthroughs I play as paragon as possible, trying to save as many lives as possible. For storyline purposes, you are forced to kill 300,000 people. I understand why it's set up like that, but I still don't like it.

Arrival will have more of an impact on the story than one line of dialogue.  You bet your ass there will be consequences whenever and wherever you face a Batarian.

you are not supposed to like the ending of Arrival. In War, the cost is high, bloody and quite nasty.

300,000 dead people is quite low compared to several trillions.

Completing Arrival adds a positive modifier to your War Assets.

The part of Arrival I didn't like was fending off the waves in the engineering room underneath the Batarian prison, but the room is dark and my computer monitor catches a lot of glare.

I agree that's it's frustrating to not be able to save at least some Batarians out of the system. I imagine it must have been something like having to fire the atomic bombs over Hiroshima or Nagasaki from Shep's PoV - Shep had to know that the loss of innocent life was going to be massive, but the alternative was unthinkable.

I just assumed I was in trouble for signing Anderson up to all those Hanar fetish sites.

IT WAS A GIFT, ANDERSON. I thought you would like it.

Arrival was a big piece of trash
